The Little Brown Stein is a rivalry trophy awarded to the winner of the college football game between the University of Idaho Vandals and University of Montana Grizzlies. The trophy is, as the name implies, a large stein mug with the results of all the games between the two painted on. The game was last played in 2003, and Montana retains the trophy. == History== Idaho and Montana first played in 1903 and have played 84 times. Idaho has dominated the overall series (55–27–2), which also includes two I-AA playoff wins at home in the 1980s. Montana has had the upper hand since 1991, winning eight of the last ten. Since Idaho moved back up to Division I-A from Division I-AA in 1996, the teams have met five times with Montana winning the last four.〔(CFB Data Warehouse ) - Idaho opponents - vs. Montana - accessed 2009-10-05〕 The schools were the only public universities in their respective states for decades, and are about miles apart. Moscow and Missoula are on opposite sides of the lower Idaho Panhandle, separated by the Bitterroot Mountains over Lolo Pass. Both were members of the old Pacific Coast Conference (the forerunner of today's Pac-12); Montana departed after the 1950 season, and the PCC disbanded in the summer of 1959. The universities were charter members of the Big Sky Conference in 1963 and their final season as conference opponents in football was 1995. While Montana has remained in the Big Sky to this day, Idaho football has changed its conference affiliation no fewer than five times since then: * Idaho's entire athletic program, including football, departed for the Big West in 1996. * After the 2000 season, the Big West dropped football. Idaho became a football-only member of the Sun Belt Conference in 2001 while remaining a full Big West member. * The entire Idaho athletic program joined the WAC in 2005 as part of a major NCAA conference realignment. * After the WAC experienced a near-complete membership turnover in the early 2010s, it dropped football after the 2012 season. Idaho football became an FBS independent for the 2013 season. * Idaho returned to the Big Sky in 2014, but without its football team, which rejoined the Sun Belt Conference. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Little Brown Stein」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
